Car Fire at the Car Wash

At a little before 5 p.m., a Nissan Frontier caught fire at the Carriage Car Wash in the 1400 block of Broadway in Eureka. Flames were close enough to the building that the call was upgraded to a structure fire and a number of Humboldt Bay engines were sent to make sure the flames did not spread.

The reader who sent in the photo said that fire personnel got to the scene quickly and put out the flames. The cause, according to the reader, “Was a short in headlamp wire.”
